Spring is in the air and hard to believe we are planning for our first “After Dark” and summer schedule along with the annual GBTA conference in July. As I have hinted in previous communications and comments both on-line and in person GBTA and its affiliate Chapters begin a very important transformation into the project “Chapter of the Future”. This project will bring we believe a new energy and collaboration with GBTA like never before.
This is a major initiative and like all things will be complex and not all changes will be immediately visible to our membership or the GBTA membership. Many parties are involved in the transformation and probably one of the most visible will be the web site. Our new and improved web site is about to get even better as we will begin to transform to a more consistent and single platform that will ultimately create a synergy between the GBTA global site and NYCBTA. This is a step in the broader initiative to enhance content, value, best practices and improving efficiency and cost across the organization.
In the spirit and commitment of communication we will post and distribute a letter to our membership outlining at a very high level the vision and goals of this initiative. Please take the time to review and ask your board questions as this process evolves. This ultimately is for you the membership and to that end we look forward to working together to bring new change.
Your board will publish a timeline of those changes most visible to the chapter as we progress through this process and stay tuned as we will shortly announce which meeting will serve as more formal rollout of the “Chapter of the Future”.
See you at our incredible Spring and Summer events!
Eric Norberg
President, NYCBTA
